Overview

What is Jurtle?

Jurtle is a simple integrated development tool for learning to program in the Java programming language.

In depth

A closer look at Jurtle

Perfect for a high school curriculum or for anyone else just starting out.
You learn to program by writing code that moves a virtual turtle on the computer screen, drawing figures in its wake. This approach to teaching programming is patterned after Turtle Graphics in the Logo programming language.
Java + Turtle = Jurtle
After mastering the basics, Jurtle may be used to create full Java applications with their own graphical user interface (GUI).
Jurtle comes with a series of self-paced lessons allowing a novice to learn the basics of Java programming.
Note: Jurtle will run unlicensed for 10 minutes at a time. To remove this limitation you need to purchase a license.
What's New in This Release:
· Added navigation to the class list on the left side of the main window. The list now displays subdirectories that you can double click to drill down into. There is also a button to go up to the parent directory.
· You can now compile and generate javadoc for classes that are not in the default package.
· Changed the way we invoke the compiler and javadoc. No longer need to update the configuration file on Windows before compiling or javadocing the first time.
· Added subtabs to the Errors Tab. One subtab displays the errors parsed into separate clickable errors. The other subtab shows the errors as Raw text as before.
· Changed the way we open URL?s for display in a browser. This change now works on both Windows 98 and ME allowing Jurtle to support that platform.
· Fixed bug where the divider in the Display tab would jump to the top of the pane if there was a lot of text in the Console from a previous run.
· A few minor edits to the Lessons.
